I Made a Makita Maktrak Toolbox FOR JUST £30 BUDGET!

[@wuzbomb]

I'm not a tradey, more home DIY and give it a go type, but this channel is constantly giving me huge inspiration to get my home tool bag in order!

[@tomrowbotham1365]

I hate how much he makes me want to spend money on tools on the average video, I've done two lots of shadow foam for my draws and 100% worth it like. I tried the cheaper foam for my batteries and it is genuinely terrible, I hate to be the guy that bought into the scheme but the shadow foam seems to be holding up far better than what I thought it would. Buy cheap buy twice I guess. Sorry Jono. ❤

[@Imshrekstwinbro]

And me. I'm already measuring up for some inserts for my toolbox and debating redoing the foam in my Dewalt box

[@WeekendShedHead]

Great mod 💪 I made a KZbin video on jam jar storage for nuts and bolts.. now I’m thinking of making a storage device for jam jars with shadow foam (mounted vertically with a backing board).. have you done something similar before ? Cheers Rob

[@ShadowFoam]

a storage device for your storage device, I love it! I haven't made a wall mounted foam display for jars necessarily, but i have done a number of tool walls and french cleat walls on my channel

[@WeekendShedHead]

@@ShadowFoamgreat.. I’ll order some and give it a go., I get some foam about 60mm ish , cheers Rob

[@peterclarke3300]

That’s the best way of recycling 👏👏👍👍

[@robinlindholm410]

Thats a superb idea and a smart reuse of an old product!

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks mate, appreciate that! Always happy to recycle on this channel!

[@fredjacques2979]

Nice conversion there. And saving money too

[@ShadowFoam]

That’s what I like to do! Save a bit of cash 😅

[@paulsiddall9914]

I have quite a few Bosch power tools each of which has a box so watching this made me think about adapting each of those boxes and having al the tools together in one large Milwaukee MN18 box or similar

[@joshosborn35]

Nice video, mate. I think you can get a lot more in that pack in the video I saw there was a bit of space in the pack. You could add more space like more batteries or maybe some drill bits something small to fit the gap.

[@ShadowFoam]

Completely agree with you mate! 👍

[@three-phase562]

Nice bit of upcycling, not seen a Makita box like that one before, must be years old!

[@acrippledhamster]

I don’t know if you’ve already done this but I’d love to see a van vault shadowfoamed up

[@RoyWCanada]

Hi Johnathon, what a neat find. Nice to see how to reuse the box. That was a great layout to get all the tools in and still close.

[@Imshrekstwinbro]

Absolutely awesome bit of recycling. Definitely going to have to get some foam for my dewalt case and re organise it.

[@ChrisCorbettFPV]

Love converting boxes with moulded inserts to custom storage with shadow foam

[@chrisheald6897]

You really packed a lot in there! Nice one.

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks Chris, appreciate that!

[@66meikou]

Sweet pickup on that old box and a nice job. I hate blow moulded cases, they're just too big and cumbersome. Perhaps you should expand your offers and team up with a company to offer your own boxes complete with your foam inserts?

[@darrenrobson2486]

Makita is my brand, so a wicked video for me! Wicked effort on the Makita 'suitcase'.

[@stephenbatterbee2065]

That's impressive 😁 another good video. That would be great as a starter box for an apprentice. With the foam it can be changed as and when new tools get added.

[@horaz86nope24]

Great vid as always, I love the Idea of saving old boxes, that otherwise would go to waste

[@billybike57]

I really like to see boxes like these repurposed!

[@ShadowFoam]

So do I! There’s still life in them yet! 👍

[@GaryLeishman]

Nice one. Win, win, win all round.

[@eee1011111]

i love your videos, this one was really good, thanks

[@007bondport]

Love Friday nights with shadow foam videos and a nice cold beer , just about to transfer everything from my old Stanley tool trolley to my nice new Milwaukee trolley , then decide how much shadow foam I’m going to need , what size thickness shall I go for the bottom box and should I put the power tools in this one ohh the excitement , going to go back and watch your Milwaukee videos ❤

[@Deadloxgamingoriginal]

Keep up the good work

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks, will do!

[@64gorrilla]

Derwent plastics near York used to make a lot of makita boxes so maybe it come from there

[@FreeYourMindArt]

I reckon around 1:23:55. Great job!

[@patbird9694]

My Makita jigsaw is made in the UK. So I assume that all of the tools are too and the box was manufactured in china. Would be nice to do a Makita livestream after you have finished doing your drawers. See you Monday Jona and team.

[@PhilipWillsWorld]

Great job. Well done.

[@drewhodge3820]

Cracking idea.

[@ShadowFoam]

thanks mate, would you like to see me do more builds like this?

[@JordanTait95]

I really like the idea of using an old case and trying this but you got that foam trimmed in to fit so nice I think you’ve made that look way to easy 🤯😂😂

[@davehails9799]

Really enjoy the channel and the videos. I keep looking for the details of those Cobalt drills but can't find them online. Do they have a website?

[@ShadowFoam]

Available at www.drillallsales.com/

[@sathos]

Nice work mate

[@mandosdad5436]

a very good idea great job

[@Chosies1]

Hard case suitcase check foam check.........sorted 😂 🛠

[@nicholasviney5975]

came out great

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks Nicholas, I’m very pleased with it!

[@parrot340]

You need the big fatmax toolbox on wheels. I went from Lancashire to Belfast foot pasanger on boat. Its a beast. Very square to.

[@colinwilson8747]

Good One!!!

[@mrbluesky2050]

I'da put a 4mm / 6mm ply base in that.. and glued the Shadow Foam inserts in too. and where's the mains charger?

[@johnvickers1981]

That looks great I wonder if you can you still buy those cases

[@Utoobhero]

I love it !

[@stuartsear4474]

I wonder if that would work in an old suitcase on wheels that's a challenge I would like to see you try.

[@richardnelson7929]

Good effort!

[@bugulugs5135]

Loved the video! Just one observation when you were using the multi-tool you didn't wear safety glasses, believe me you don't want plastic in your eye its not nice. I noticed that there was quite a large pile of scrap pieces from all the cut outs and I was wondering what happens to them all, do they get recycled, apologies if you have answered this in a previous video. Loved the budget Case especially as you can fit so many tools in it.

[@ShadowFoam]

Yes good catch! I’ll wear them in future! All off-cuts are baled and recycled at a local recycling facility

[@MrBigMalT]

You could even do the same with a turquoise hard shell suitcase! (But wouldn’t look as professional rolling up on a job with it 😂)

[@michaelfairchild]

Makita still makes some tools in UK. Even I own a Makita random orbital sander made in UK. Makita also have loads other factories around the world and not only China. I would think next to Chinese factory, their other biggest are one in Romania and Japan. Add, Brazil, USA, Thailand and saw someone got one made in Germany.

[@ElectroAtletico]

The rolling box is very nice, but......in America owning Makita is a sure guarantee that your tools WILL NOT be stolen.

[@ShadowFoam]

That sounds like a plus tbh mate! 😅

[@rgrkb]

I may have been way off, still a fantastic use of an outdated combo box

[@BleepinScotland]

Nice bit of up cycling..

[@AlanHorsburgh-y6o]

Nice job

[@angu31a]

Nice to have the batteries, but a charger would be good too.

[@ShadowFoam]

Agreed! Maybe next time!

[@neil_bird]

Catching up late tonight. Hang on, that loaded case will be pretty heavy will the handle and wheels take the weight??

[@neil_bird]

Ending comment made me chuckle 😂 “give you some beauty shots” 😂

[@hotdavesweet]

Nice 👏🏻

[@tomrowbotham1365]

This is awesome our lass might me get this Vs the maktrak 😂😂

[@tomrowbotham1365]

Ps I hate how organised it looks Vs mine 😂😂

[@tomrowbotham1365]

PPS what the case called?

[@bobx2387]

Hey Jona, That really makes god use of a pretty naff box. They will double in price now... Bob (Weston super Mare)

[@shaneparton1143]

That’s suck a good idea I would like to see you do more

[@unmotardalondres9211]

6 hours and 33 minutes with a pub lunch break in the middle

[@ShadowFoam]

Haha that’s where I’m going wrong

[@darrenmccullagh2821]

Good stuff

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks Darren! 💪

[@moo7137]

Jona I can not believe that you didn't cut a slot for a tape measure 😂😂😂😂😂

[@peterpurcell6830]

I would say 3 hours to cut in.

[@malcolmmacdougall4130]

You got a link to the Germany video

Tool Suitcase

[@markduggan3451]

Looks like a suitcase.

[@timrr7]

Makita do actually manufacture some tools in the UK.

[@ShadowFoam]

I know, I covered a few in my last Makita video, would love for them to do more though!

[@beckygold-mg9zo]

USA get the toolbox’s first like Milwaukee

[@ShadowFoam]

They do and it’s such a shame!

[@VidSpaztastic]

Have gotten some awsome ideas from your videos, but do you accept viewer challenges ?

[@ShadowFoam]

Always happy to take on suggestions for videos from viewers

[@ricaropie260]

needs a charger

[@rgrkb]

36minutes to cut the tools in

[@watchcommander2012]

That’s a great use of a basically redundant useless tool holder

[@ShadowFoam]

Another box saved from landfill! 👍

[@jackbird6325]

41 mins?

[@AlisonPaul69]

PUKKER JOB

[@geoffcrabtree657]

First here 🎉

[@ShadowFoam]

Congrats! What did you think of the video?

[@chrisharrell2449]

Three hours.

[@ShadowFoam]

Could do 2 of these in that time 😅

[@barryskeates5623]

nice use of a usless box

[@deathstr0kexorn765]

25mins

[@deathstr0kexorn765]

Disappointed in ya! What you do stop and go for an hour long shi7? 😂

[@clips4you23]

Theres more then 30 pounds worth of foam 😂😂

[@richh6790]

32 minutes...?

[@richh6790]

Just a little bit out 😂

[@ShadowFoam]

Not by much mate 😅

[@2009sexyboi]

It’s not £30 tho…. Foam costs a fortune

[@davidpitfield2796]

...and any theif can just pick up the handle and wheel it away with all those lovely Makita tools enclosed!!
